Please see below the list of organisations supporting the ICCDPP Symposium.

The International Centre for Career Development and Public Policy (ICCDPP)

The International Centre for Career Development and Public Policy (ICCDPP) was established in 2004 with the support of the OECD, the World Bank, the European Commission, the International Association for Educational and Vocational Guidance, and national governments to enable countries to share examples of good career guidance policies and systems internationally.

These are to be found on its website. More recently, the Centre has undertaken joint research with international partners such as WAPES and published a policy brief on career guidance in the public employment services. 

The Centre jointly hosts International Symposia on Career Development and Public Policy on a biennial basis, bringing together a global community of policymakers, researchers and practitioners. Thematic country and synthesis papers, proceedings, and outcomes of the international symposia are viewable on the website. 

The ICCDPP publishes free monthly emails on career guidance policy and systems developments.
